Sen (second seed) lose to drx ( a first seed) and everyone goes crazy it’s the end of the world
CactusPlant [#2]Because a lot of people were heavily underrating drx and the whole pacific region as a whole
Don’t hate me but DRX specifically choke a lot internationally, as does prx, only geng really is consistent internationally, I can understand why people underrated them

and how many internationals has this roster of DRX played till now ?
CarnageBTC [#14]and how many internationals has this roster of DRX played till now ?
Bro every new iteration of the drx roster does the same thing. They look so good like they could win the whole thing and then choke in playoffs

Another reason to potentially doubt them, if anything
But I’m happy they are doing well and I hope they make a deep run, but to say people are grossly underestimating apac after ONE win is crazy

the difference being this drx iteration just won the first vct trophy for the org ever

With all due respect domestic trophies have literally never mattered ever in any region ever
Yeah I don't get all the "see, we told you so KEKEKEKEKEKKEEK" reactions
Mfs act like saying Pacific had the lowest ceiling was a completely impossible conclusion to draw unless you were smoking crack and constantly spout how no one who said that knows anything about the game despite the fact that Pacific DID look like the region with the weakest top level teams during their regional competition. Now that DRX have actually debuted internationally and SEN pissed themselves the moment they stepped on stage we can say that's not the case, but that doesn't mean it didn't look like it before Bangkok started

This means what? How many times has the winner of the region trophy won a international
Madrid
Seoul
2/6

well yeah but every single drx that people thought looked poised to win something internationally couldnt even manage a domestic trophy, which is the biggest difference between the past versions of drx and the current one

They have always been good domestically though, inches from a trophy before, so it’s not that big of a deal tbh
Feel like a hater but let’s wait a bit, DRX has started hot plenty of times before

They have been a couple meters from a trophy before never been THAT close. The closest they were was in 2022 in champs and there was no world they beat optic or Loud

They were up 2-0 against paper Rex in pacific league finals in 2023 and got reverse swept 😂

Oh no a regional trophy for an event they were 8th place in what will I do

I’m pretty sure we are both arguing the same thing my guy 😂
